say about it in another column. He has
tried it thoroughly and with much sue

raise the same amount of it than it re-
quires for ordinary cotton, yet it is
worth $500 more on the bale
Milo Maize is highly praised rs for
age crop. 1t can be fed green or cured for
hay. Planted on good ground it gives
several cuttings, and the yield is said to
be very heavy. TO any farmer who
wishes to give it trial, we will furnish
small packet free. If ordered by mail
